Statement from the Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs Kristian Jensen:

”The terror that has hit France, is an attack on the entire Western world – including Denmark. The French people should know that Denmark and the rest of the western world will stand together with France and the French Government in the fight against terrorists, as by announced President Hollande.

We mourn with the bereaved. But we will not be paralyzed by powerlessness. The Western world has previously been exposed to terrorism, but the terrorists will be defeated. They cannot break democracies, we stand together.

Remembering the tragic events of January and February this year, we know that there is a risk that terrorists may be inspired to attack other places too. We cannot let that happen. Denmark will remain in close contact with our partners in the EU, Europol and NATO," said Foreign Minister Kristian Jensen.
